But not the respect of engineers...
Wow, their research is a bit weak if they didn't know they'd given the award to someone who appears to have just been fired.
Mark Suster also gets a mention but Brock Pierce? Err, they do know there's a bit of an underage kids molestation story going around there? As John Oliver said, Google "Brock Pierce scandal". From
https://hornet.com/stories/brock-pierce-scandal-john-oliver-2/"Just prior to DEN’s IPO, a young man identified only as Jake W. filed a lawsuit accusing Collins-Rector of sexually molesting him for three years, beginning in 1993, when W. was only 13. The IPO was cancelled; Collins-Rector, Pierce and Collins-Rector’s partner Chad Shackley resigned; and the company filed for bankruptcy.
When the company collapsed, Collins-Rector, Pierce and Shackley fled the United States after the three men had been accused of sexually abusing, drugging and making violent threats against underage DEN employees. The three were extradited to the United States for charges of transporting a minor across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts, however only Collins-Rector was charged."
Thanks for finding this, it might be blogpost worthy.
Edit: Yes, it was blog post worthy.
